Frank's Red Hot Chicken Wings

And finally, here's a link to Frank's Red Hot Chicken Wings recipe. You really can't do any better than the real thing, and this recipe is from none other than Frank's official website. Some people have tried to improve upon this recipe over the years, and some have come real close without cutting and pasting the recipe (which is bad form). The only other ingredient that you could add to the hot sauce before tossing the wings in, is between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Try them both ways and see what you think. Good, aren't they?
